Description. 
cl. 
Aug. 28, 1850. A very remarkable object, perhaps analogous to H. 450. The ring is not 
easily seen, but there can be no mistake about it ; mider the central * there is a 
darkness. Aug. 22, 1851. sE. np, sf. 
Places of principal stars laid down, and a new drawing made. Eirst observation Aug. 10, 
1850, and last, Aug. 30, 1851. See end of Catalogue, and fig. 43, Plate XXXI.

cl. 
Aug. 23, 1 851. Fine annular neb. like that in Lyra ; E ; the dark space is sE. p. and f ; 
* easily seen in np. edge, others suspected. Aug. 19, 1855. There is a conspicuous 
* on the inner edge of the ring at np. side, and another fainter near this on the 
outer side. I believe the whole of this comer of the annulus is r, and can see the 
*s sparkling near the two already described. 
Koughly sketched five times. Aug. 10, 1850. * or B. nucleus nf. the middle. A dark 
curved fine p. this plainly seen, which at moments I fancied went round the sf. part. 
Sept. 9, 1852. This planetary neb. is a beautiful httle spiral. Aug. 12, 
1855. I think spiral, of the shape annexed. Aug. 16, 1855. The night 
bears -^-inch single lens well. There is a group of 4 mijiute sifs p. the neb. 
Sept. 6, 1856. The details in my sketch of last year seem correct. I can ^ 
trace the spirahty distinctly. See fig. 34, Plate XXVIII.

cl. 
Sept. 6, 1850. New spiral, with three branches, of which two terminate in knots, as 
in sketch; a fourth branch suspected. Sept. 8, 1850. Examined and drawing 
made.

in one before meeting the nucleus. I 
The two f. branches A and B unite 
certainly see a fourth branch D, which seems 
to join C in the same way before reaching the nucleus. Of the four, those which 
terminate in knots arc the brightest. B is fainter, and D much fainter still. See 
fig. 36, Plate XXX. 
Aug. 21, 1857. E; vS; IbM. 
Aug. 27, 1857. A group of 5 neb ; many *s among them. 
Aug. 5, 1851. The nebula resembles the Milky Way, and is full of dark uneven rifts or 
lanes. The p. edge is the brightest, and the M. is darker than the edges. Sept. 6, 
1856. There are portions of its p. edge clearly r. 
cl. 
Aug. 5, 1851. Eesemhles the neb. 2088, though on a much larger scale; the dark spaces 
have a rounder or more sack-like appearance, especially at the chief bend, where the 
neb. is al.so the brightest. It has several outlying portions of fiocculent neby, espe- 
cially at s. end. Sept. 3, 1855. General shape that of HerschePs figure, but several 
dark bays in it, and many more *s seen in and about it.
